Look well they do, not painting the caliper?

 

[AudiLeon]

after I'd serviced the A4, A3 and been to a fire call. I quickly fitted the brakes and bled them.

So job for tomorrow is painting.

Bargain price they were! did you install everything you bought or did you just put the calipers & carriers on?

 

[AudiLeon]

Just fitted the calipers, carriers, discs and pads.
So I have a set of hubs, arms and S4 drive shafts sat in the garage.

 

[AudiLeon]

Painted now.

 

[A1an]

Sweet!

 

[Turkster]

how is the performance now?

 

[quattrojames]

Looking good! Would lend themselves to some discrete caliper stickers now.

Performance is certainly better than the 312's that were on there. But I think the pads that were on the 312's were abit crap tbh. They do feel firmer on the brake though, but i've done a fluid change which hasn't been done in at least 2 years. So it could be a number of things adding up to it.


As for sticker, I have thought about a Quattro sticker round the radius closest to the centre of the disc. On the caliper...

I have this sort of sticker,maybe you like it

 

[AudiLeon]

Mines not a Sline, so i'm trying to avoid anything like that really. I'll keep an eye out for some Quattro ones when i have some funds.

 

[quattrojames]

Personally I feel as you've got S4 brakes you could get away with an S4 caliper sticker.

Seen them done with a nice set of 4-rings.... I got some four rings transfers in various sizes off eBay for about £2 a few years back when I was thinking of painting mine.
